Patient Factors Influencing Dermal Filler Complications: Prevention, Assessment, And Treatment

The document discusses the importance of patient selection, technique, and practitioner knowledge in preventing and managing complications associated with dermal fillers, which are used for cosmetic purposes. An international group of physicians with expertise in aesthetics compiled their clinical experiences and reviewed literature to provide guidance on contraindications, cautionary situations, and best practices for pre-treatment, treatment, and post-treatment periods. The manuscript emphasizes that most complications arise from choosing unsuitable patients, issues with sterility, placement, volume, and injection technique, and highlights the necessity for practitioners to have comprehensive knowledge of dermal filler treatments to ensure the best outcomes for their patients.
